Reviews of Sunny garden rooms Watamu

It was in a good location and it had a swimming pool, fans, and WiFi. The host gave us recommendations of where to eat and activities.

It wasn't clean... The bathroom was not in a good state, the shower drain was a dark brown compared to the silver metal that it once was, it didn't drain properly. There were also massive cockroaches. The outside, common area was very very dusty, even the walls were covered in dust. It was a must to wear shoes everywhere to ensure your feet weren't coated in dirt. This is far below the usual standard of cleanliness you can expect in Kenya.

Supernice staff, flexible check in and out, Great WiFi, nice potential common areas (if you’re allowed to use)

I booked the hostel part, which was perfectly fine but then a day later in the main building part (that includes reception) a family arrived, and we’ve been told we can’t stay in the common areas in front of reception because it makes them feel uncomfortable. I think this set up works fine if it’s not booked out as a family but telling some guests they can’t sit on a chair feels a bit far fetched. The photos of common area of the hostel part is misleading, there’s no chairs or tables hence one is looking for somewhere else to sit.

As a content creator, I absolutely loved the garden—it was beautifully maintained, clean, and so lush and green, which made it perfect for taking great photos. The pool was also a highlight for me—spacious, clean, and very refreshing, especially on hot days. It really made my stay relaxing and visually inspiring.

the only thing I didn’t like was that I had to leave! 😂 I could’ve stayed much longer—it was that good.

This stay surpassed my expectations, ended up staying double the time I intended. The host is wonderful and so accomodating. Ridiculous value for money, great place to relax by the pool, also there are bodas passing all the time to take you to town when need be. Bonus points for the kindest dog you can imagine!

Nothing stands out as negative. Just an all-round nice place to stay.

We had a great time here, Effe the owner took really good care of us and went out of her way to be accommodating. The place is gorgeous and has a really nice relaxing vibe with everything you need. Highly recommend staying here

The location of the hostel which is easier to access malls and transport. The staff were warm and hospitable.

The hostel should try to clean properly the washroom sink outside the main villa and the mosquito nets.

I liked the place.

Nothing

The host was kind enough to upgrade me to a better room at Venus & Poa poa villa. The compound was clean,private, quiet and beautiful with a lovely pool. I would definitely recommend it. ❣️

The bathing water was very salty,generally the whole of Watamu has salty water.

- they gave me a room-upgrade - was really clean - shared kitchen - nice pool area - nice manager

Everything is beautiful, the facilities and staff are wonderful. It is highly recommended for solo travelers as well as families!

Effy, our host, was very welcoming, so friendly, and her place is so homely, serene, exquisite, and very affordable... we totally loved everything... anyone looking for a staycation in watamu look no further, her place is the place to be.
